Having ran into the woods Shannon balances the bottles under his chin and climbs up his favourite tree closely followed by Raven who then sits with his back against it and swings a leg over either side the tree. Shannon then scoots over and sits with his back against Raven's chest as they place all five bottles between their legs. Opening one they both take a swig from it feeling a sudden woozyness.

'So Shanny why up here?'

'Because in the morning the sun always rises from that side and it's nice to look at.'

'The view is beautiful.'

'Yep that's why I sit here.'

Wrapping his arms around Shannon Raven places his chin on Shannon's shoulder.

'You know going back to the fucking up business, I didn't think you were all that bad in WCW.'

Shannon blinked and blushed then confusment fell over him why was he blushing and how the hell?

'Shan?'

'Sorry zoned out, urm...how?'

'Us big guys used to watch, me and Insane Clown ...'

'Oh my fucking god I love those guys.'

'What their music?'

'Mhm I have their CD's.'

'Sweet, they do pretty cool music.'

'Yeah they do, so um what were you saying.'

'Oh I was just going to say we used to watch the whole show backstage meaning I sometimes saw three count.'

'Damnit I err yeah I just wanted air time and...'

'Shanny you can sing and dance so don't worry about it. Evan and Gregory well...that's a different story.'

Shannon fell into a fit of giggles.

'What? They can't.'

Shannon then takes another swig of JD and snuggled back into Ravens chest who had started to feel a weird nice warm feeling and snuggled Shannon back.

'Shanny?'

'Yeah?'

'It's nice to be able to talk to someone so um thanks.'

'You wanna talk come to be...ask me to keep a secret not going to happen but talk is good.'

'Aha I'll keep that in mind, so...'

'Hmm...Rae...Where do you live?'

'Georgia with my parent's.'

Shannon then giggled.

'You live with your parents?'

'Yeah.'

Raven playfully tickled Shannon, now normally he wouldn't so much as talk but now he found himself snuggling and playing with Shannon.

'My parents have tons of money so I stay there, means I don't have to cook or clean.'

'Hmm when you put it that way got room for me?'

'Ha maybe you can come over one day.'

'Do you live in a big BIG house or just a big house?'

'I dunno to me it's just big.'

'Oh because I ...er...nevermind.'

'What?'

'Matt's is the biggest I've been too.'

'Oh well your just a small town boy so there aren't many big houses around here don't worry.'

'Oh ok aha.'

'Shanny?'

'Mmm.'

'Tell me about your family.'

'My family?'

'Mhm.'

'Well um see my family isn't well...um...see my dad is um well he...'

'When did he pass Shanny?'

Raven's heart then fell sad as he felt Shannon wriggling at the question obviously he was close to his dad.

'About two an half years go.'

'Awww I'm sorry, we um we don't have to talk about it.'

'Well before he died it was really hard...he was...paralyzed and well...everyone used to pick on me because my dad was um...'A robot.' they used to um call him... He wasn't though he was still there he just...um couldn't move...and he um... the accident was my fault...and ...'

'Shanny accidents happen you can't possibly have caused it.'

'Well...see...I had just met Jeff...and well he had a bike...a motocross one yeah...and I wanted one...he um he said he would get me one...and well he was 20 dollars short...and he he said that after work he would take me to buy it...but he wasn't supposed to work that day...and ...and he never made ...made it to work.'

Shannon started to cry. As Raven's heart tugged, tightly wrapping his arms around the little punk.

'Shanny that wasn't you fault.'

'Ar know...but if I hadn't wanted that bike...'

'He might of had it the next day Shanny things just work like that sometimes...'

'Wa..wait...you...your...your not laughing...ab..ab..about him.'

'Why would I do that?'

'Because everyone other than the Hardy's did...'

'Aww Shanny I would never do that, I bet your just like him.'

Shannon's face gleamed as he smiled.

'Yep I am...mom always said I'm the little dragon because he was the big one...I do look like him and... and I act like him too.'

'Well then I think your dad was a damn brilliant guy.'

'You..you think I'm brilliant?'

'Well you went through hell and back and your still fighting, you don't do drugs or sleep around like the Hardy's hell if anything you still dream.'

'Aha well thanks I mean it I.. I wouldn't say I'm brilliant but thanks.'

'Welcomes. Now mister Dragon where is it you live then.'

'Oh me I live over the other side of town behind us. I live with my baby.'

'Baby?'

'Yeah Oz he is a pit bull but he is soooo sweet.'

'Well I would love to meet this Oz.'

'I'm going back there tonight you can come if you want...I have more jack there two.'

Looking down at their raid the two realized that when getting emotional about the past they had drunk through four of the five bottles.

'I think that is a good notion to go back for.'

'Oh shit...um...'

'What?'

'Well see I haven't actually long moved in...and well the other bed is still packed...and Oz sleeps on the sofa...'

'I suppose I shall have to sleep with you then.'

Shannon giggled at this as did Raven.

'Suppose so.'

Shannon then moved away from Raven and dropped the four empty bottles to the floor. Drinking the last swig out of the fifth before dropping it also to the floor.

'Guess we should go I want more Jack..and a bacon sandwich.'

'Ooo yes bacon sounds yummy.'

Shannon then smiled as Raven climbed down before he climbed down himself. Raven helped him down and grabbed his hand as they walked off in search for Shannon's house...
